Welcome to the 2014 Halo movie competition!
We would like to thank all of the producers, players, editors and wish them good luck. Now, let's get to business:

PRIZES

BEST MOVIE AWARD

1st place - $450

2nd place - $200

3rd place - $150

SUB CATEGORY AWARDS

Best Intro - $50

Best Editing - $50

Best Gameplay - $50

Most Original and Creative - $50

"Best Movie" award voting and seeding:
The judges grade the videos on the category criteria, which adds up to a total average score of the video. On that score we list the videos from best (1) through worst graded which we will use as the source for our seeds. This will insure that the best videos will not eliminate each other early on, and each heat is fairly proportional to each other. After each video is organized into their heats, voting will take place just as it did in the last competitions; the top half will move on to the next round.

How to win a sub category?
Now you may have asked yourself, "How do I win a sub category award?" And that is where the judges come in! Judges will be discussing and doing voting of their own to decide the winner of every sub category. Judges MAY enter videos but they will not be eligible for any sub category awards.

HOW TO ENTER/RULES/RECOMMENDATIONS

Unlike previous competitions there will be NO ENTRY FEE, it is completely free to enter as many videos as you'd like.
You are allowed to enter any type of Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo Reach and Halo 4 video with the criteria being that the video must be of a compilation/montage fashion (so jumptages: yes, machinema's: no). Each video entry must have the official logo or animation in the intro of the video.

Logo:

Spoiler!

You can reshape and modify the logo as you please (as long as it is clearly recognizable and the text is readable).

Registering your entry:
We may not see every entry or remember 100% of them until the end, please register your entry by following the guidelines in THIS THREAD. We'll keep an up to date list on all entries there. This is the ONLY way to enter the competition.

Deadline:
The deadline for this contest is Friday, January 2nd 2014 midnight PST.
We want everyone to have a fair go at this so we're giving a solid time frame which shouldn't give people already involved in a project too big of an advantage.

Download link:
Adding a download link is highly recommended, not only can people appreciate your work in the best quality, it also helps us and others to upload it to their youtube channels and help it reach a wider audience. Every contest contender (who provides a download link)will get their video uploaded to the THF youtube channel.

DONATIONS

We don't have a sponsor like Z used to, this is all out of pocket. And with this competition having no entry fee, any donations, cash or XBL 1 months etc. are much appreciated to help reward people's hard work. We have a central paypal account THFHMC@hotmail.com, anything else please contact Klima, ohem, slater ohm via PM.
